What's your grief is another group which is run by two Ladies , I think.Possibly American . They have words of advice for Widows, Podcasts . Tips and tools for coping etc. They send out E-mails with Articles ,Blogs and more
Not at all breton. It all depends on what you are looking for. Im looking to connect with people locally but so far not many member in my area but I still visit Wayup and read posts and sometimes join the online socials, its company at least.
We all need an outley, its ok to say what you need to.
It's a shame some of us on here aren't in a group nearer . We seem to have such a lot in common. My Mum goes to a Dementia group coffee morning every 2 weeks . Father had Dementia last few years of his life. She's made a lovely friend who is like a sister . And everyone there is so good. I've stayed a couple of times . My elder sister loves to go with her and she gets really involved . I did say it's something I would like to set up when we moved , It would have been good for my Hubby as well to be more sociable . He missed having company. But now I don't feel up to organising anything..takes me all my time to organise myself. They have a quiz, a game of Bingo, Sometimes a little entertainment , The Volunteers who organise are Brilliant . Elizabeth sources lots of info. on what events are happening some free. Bob does the quiz or talks on a different subject which can be very interesting. All the Carers and their spouses or friends/family really enjoy the morning out and it stimulates the brain. One day i might be able to drum up some enthusiasm to organise something similar. I don't think there are enough local groups for active over 50's . It's like everything else , that it takes dedicated Volunteers to start something up.
